A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

Our Philosophies:

All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.

Our Goals

Higher wages for underpaid workers.
Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
Better and fewer working hours.
Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.

There's a steep decline in pay compared to the value workers add to the economy, closely tracking the fall in union membership. (lemmy.world)

The rate is rising again - +62k unemployed in just one month, Germany is on an economically downward spiral right now, closing major industry and losing it to other countries. The unemployment rate of migrants is 15% and rising, btw. The argument that there are so many positions open and Germany needs migrants to fill this position is one that i hear for over 20 years now and yet it never goes away. Also, you can‘t just put random ppl in random jobs because they‘re open right now, it‘s not the GDR anymore. Qualification is a major issue here.
